Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1041

What in the world was going on? Bryce was still detained, and nobody had mentioned a word about it to her. It caught her completely off guard.

A flicker of cold light passed through the corner of her eye. This sudden mess at Inko Group seemed all too convenient, didn't it?

Phineas had just turned into a vegetable!

It wasn't possible for Inko Group's shareholders to start acting up so soon, was it?

And to make matters worse, the turmoil directly caused Parisa to panic, and she had decided to return home.

This couldn't happen.

If Parisa went back to Harmonia Country and happened to see Whitney, that would be the end of everything!

No.

In her and Bryce's plan, there was no room for Parisa returning to Harmonia Country.

Her face turning pale, she rushed up to Parisa, shaking her head, "Mom, you can't go back to Harmonia Country."

"Why not?" Parisa frowned, not yet noticing the sudden change in Florence's demeanor.

"It's just... Mr. Wilson and I might have been merely colleagues, but after years of working together, he's been protective of my privacy, never leaking any of my information back home. He respects me, and I owe him the same respect. Now that he's critically ill, I should visit him and provide comfort to his family. It's crucial for the stability of our branch office as well. Plus, the branch office is in shambles, with negative news breaking every three days! I can't trust anyone else with it! Saving the situation is crucial, and I need to go back. Besides, I don't even know where my brother and father are buried; it's time to pay my respects and investigate the persecution they faced."

Her tone suggested she had considered this from multiple angles and was determined.

Damn Inko Group, why did it have to implode right now, creating a whole mess out of nowhere!

Florence was furious inside, almost to the point of feeling sick.

She had prepared thoroughly, even promising Bryce that she would handle the referral well.
